In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (24.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.72 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ju-Sung.
Judged on this season alone, Ju-Sung graded 18 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 40th of 64 of the 64 centre-backs in the J1 League, on 3 clean sheets and 4.715 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 26 → 18). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 47, top 16% of the 64 centre-backs in the J1 League. At 25 Ju-Sung is in his prime years, and a market index of 13 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Sanfrecce Hiroshima finished 4th of 20 · an upper-table side
4.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 8 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.28 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
- Defensive volume. 4.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 24.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 47.4, Ju-Sung carries the 10th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the J1 League of 64 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
